The Respitality Worker will develop and deliver Respitality as part of Carers of East Lothian’s short breaks offer, helping unpaid carers take valuable time away from their caring responsibilities. Respitality combining “respite” and “hospitality” is a national scheme coordinated by Shared Care Scotland that connects carers with free breaks donated by hospitality, tourism and leisure businesses, from overnight stays and afternoon teas to event tickets and wellbeing activities. The postholder will bring the scheme to life locally by building strong relationships with businesses, securing suitable donations and working with carers to match breaks to their circumstances and preferences. This is an exciting, people-focused role requiring creativity, persistence and excellent communication, with the opportunity to make a practical difference by helping carers rest, recharge and feel recognised and valued.
